High redshift luminosity distance measurements [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]} and
the WMAP measurements [7]}, [8]} of cosmic
microwave background (CMB) interpreted in the context of standard
FLRW cosmological models have strongly disfavored a matter dominated universe,
and strongly supported a dominant dark energy component, giving rise
to a positive cosmological acceleration.
